A treasure hunt ensues when a letter is found in first edition copy of Charlotte’s Web.

"This realistic, heartwarming family story will have special appeal for children with parents in the armed forces. Amy Rubinate's soothing voice fits the cozy atmosphere of the novel well."
- School Library Journal (audio review)

"In this epistolary debut novel, Hayes and Nyhan, who have never met directly, tell the story of Glory Whitehall and Rita Vincenzo, two pen pals who have never met in person as they begin a correspondence that sustains them both through WWII. The authors have composed letters that, if found in your grandmother's attic, would make you want to stay up all night reading through the cross-outs and the water blots with a head full of questions for the morning."

America's celebrated master of terror turns to a different kind of fright: raising children.

"At a moment when helicopter parenting is the norm, “free-range” parents are chastised for letting their children wander a few blocks alone, and the pressure feels greater than ever not only to “have it all” but to “be it all” — to manage both to pursue a successful career and to produce homemade cupcakes for every birthday — Jackson’s relaxed approach to child-rearing feels refreshingly sane. Children, she tells us, are essentially savages and demons, and ought to be treated as such: at a cautious distance, without losing sight of one’s own way of life."
- The New York Times

A collection of stories that explores the lives of talented, gutsy women throughout history.

"Almost Famous Women is sharp, compassionate, and strong, just like the women depicted in its pages. Megan Mayhew Bergman writes with such precision that we should all quake in her presence. This book only looks like it's made of paper - you are holding priceless diamonds in your hand."
- Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers

From bestselling author Gary Krist, a vibrant and immersive account of New Orleans' other civil war.

Starred review. "[A] rich, well-structured story more vivid and twist-filled than most crime fiction...Armed with both well-placed primary sources and an addictive, climactic narrative, Krist leads a perfect trip into the short-lived societal experiment aptly named 'Storyville.'"

Small-Time Gangsters, High-Stakes Gambling, and the Teenage Hustler Who Became a Bowling Champion

The true story of how the most notorious action bowler of all time became a Hall of Famer.

"A thoroughly entertaining slice of twisted Americana, New York gangster style. Only in the Big Apple could something so pure and Middle America as bowling become so infused with most of the seven deadly sins. Put it on the shelf with The Big Lebowski and Jersey Boys."
- Dary Matera, author of Quitting the Mob and The F.B.I.'s Ten Most Wanted

A moving, universal story of family, self-discovery, young love, and the experience of the immigrant

“Lesa Lockford expertly captures the voice of Lena as she moves through adolescence into adulthood, from an unsure girl afraid she will never speak unaccented English to a confident, successful woman. Wineberg’s (Second Language) quintessential American story of belonging, family life, heritage, and pursuing the American dream will resonant with listeners.”
- Library Journal (audio review)

"Steinke’s narrator, Jesse, is both unforgettably unique and a quintessential adolescent girl... Jesse’s naive admiration...and her chameleonlike reaction to whomever she attaches herself to create a painfully true account of a tough phase of life made more so by the disillusions of the time. But as Jesse observes these characters’ hopelessness, she herself becomes more defined - perhaps more the guitarist than the girl in the song."
- Booklist

A brilliantly comic take on the pathos and surreality at the heart of American life.

"Unconventional yet emotionally resonant stories...Much like his contemporaries Kevin Wilson or Wells Tower, Lennon is one of those writers who defies categorization and is as likely to fit comfortably into Weird Tales as he is into Granta."
- Kirkus Reviews

Winner of the Bernstein Prize - a monumental and daring work about life in a West Bank settlement.

- Booklist (audio review)

Gregor Demarkian seeks to clear an old friend’s name in the latest thrilling novel from Jane Haddam.

"Haddam is known for her clever mysteries, but the true pleasure of the audio is in Colacci’s fine reading. The Armenian names and accented voices become poetry in his performance, while the gossipy old women who oversee community life are particularly well characterized and amusing."
- Booklist (audio review)

"The fast-paced plot is dramatically narrated by Cris Dukehart, with Southern accents, deep voices, or a snarky tone for villains and much lighter voices for the children. The narration accentuates the drama of the action and the children’s contemporary language."
- School Library Journal (audio review)

A gorgeously rendered, passionate account of a relationship threatened by secrets.
